when i built my first computer in 2004, i bought a geforce 6600 gt for 189$.
i just now bought a 670 for the computer i just built for 400$.
back when i built my first computer the flagship geforce 6800 ultra was like 350$ or so.

i think graphics cards are way too overpriced nowadays. they realy should just take a couple generations to not improve performance, but to reduce cost and reduce profile. the mid range cards should not take up 2 expansion slots.

also back then, that 6600 gt ran awsome in linux with the binary driver and i was able to play doom3/quake4 on almost max settings. it was pretty awsome, too bad it burned itself up.
